[For Steerpike] Till the least of the last is dust...

[77th_emo_earl]

It's been some days since the poster went up in the main room, asking for any information on the whereabouts of Titus Groan, and some might think the trail is going cold. But the only thing going cold is the weather.

At some distance from the house, well into the woods, well past the Stone Table, Steerpike might find something disturbing: a lump with longish brown hair, protruding from the deep snow. There might be a foot sticking from the drift several feet away.

It's as disturbing as it sounds, and it's likely going to take a while to find the rest...

Title taken from the Schoolmasters' verse, aka the lyrics for the main title theme for the BBC miniseries. Primarily for Steerpike, but given the condition that the body is going to be in, it's likely to turn into a limited mingler...

"I do, too," says Hisoka. "And she had to live with Rudy in the same building, after that. It's horrible."

Neville agrees completely. Part of him wants to go find her, hug her and promise her she'll be protected from now on. But until Rudy is found, no one is safe. "What's her name again? I'll try to keep an eye on her."

"It's Misa Amane," replies Hisoka. "She's small, blonde, and dresses frilly, unless you catch her on one of her Goth days. Brown eyes. You may have seen her around, even if you don't know her." Hisoka will try as well, but he, too, knows there is a limit to what they can do.

[Okay if we wrap up? Unless you can think of anything else they should discuss?]

"I haven't seen her," Neville replies, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I appreciate all the information," he murmurs, finishing his coffee and returning the cup to Hisoka gratefully. "I'm going to keep searching." He tips his head to Hisoka, heart too heavy to manage a smile, before setting off again.
